earthtone9: the return of beard metal
Although they have an annoying lower case initial letter, I was a big fan of earthtone9 back in the late ‘90s (I seem to be writing that kind of sentence a lot lately – am I really getting old?). And they’re getting back together, and although it’s not to record new material at the moment, they’re not ruling it out. So yay. Bizarrely, two of the members moved to Australia for a while.
To describe what the band sounded like is difficult, because it’s kind of a mix of what would later become nu-metal and then metalcore, and that just sounds like the worst possible thing ever. But it actually works and don’t forget this band broke up long before everyone and their dog was signing nu-metal and hardcore metal bands to their crappy labels.
